**Expressions of interest wanted from middle-aged actors regarding audition for a semi-paid role in short film - "Saucer" - A dark (black?) comedy about an alien invasion in the 1950s**

DETAILS:
This is the second film to come out of Seamless Pictures Pty Ltd and is a low budget production. However, we will pay a nominal fee for experienced actors; catering will also be provided.

The shoot is scheduled for the weekend of 26th-27th of November in Melbourne, and currently we are looking for actors to fill the following roles:

JOHN: 40-55 yrs; JanetÂ’s husband. John is nervy, and has history of depression and of seeing strange visitations that worry him and cause others to worry about his mental fitness. In terms of his marriage, he has become a bit of a gray man - although, in this story, he comes into his own. John has a slightly lost or fazed look about him. The source of his self doubt is really a hidden talent for seeing what others may not.

JANET: 40-55 yrs; JohnÂ’s wife. Janet is matronly and bossy and has particular ways of doing things. She is not an unkind person exactly, and loves her husband in her way - but she has a tendency to express disapproval through nagging. Used to ruling the house, she is sensible, practical and respectable, and she knows whatÂ’s best for John.

JACK: 40-55 yrs; Loud and hearty. A small time talk-back radio announcer, Jack is a voice for the local people in his town, and an old friend of JohnÂ’s. Jack is flamboyant, calls a spade a spade, and can be obnoxious. Janet disapproves of him and his radio antics. JackÂ’s radio station is about to come under alien influence.

Ideally I would ask those interested to please contact us by email by Friday the 4th of November. Please forward your expression of interest (preferably with a short bio or cv) to seamlesspictures@optusnet.com.au

Auditions will be held on Sunday the 6th of November, however it may be possible to negotiate another time if this date does not suit.

Many thanks from the Seamless Pictures team,

Lachlan (writer/producer) and Gary (producer/director) :)
